Description

HARMONIC ACE®+ Shears

Available for the first time with HARMONIC ACE®+ Shears, Adaptive Tissue Technology enables the generator to actively monitor the instrument during use, allowing the system to respond intelligently to varying tissue conditions. With the HARMONIC ACE+ Shears, Adaptive Tissue Technology delivers greater precision by regulating energy delivery when needed, providing:

• A reduction in the power level
• enhanced feedback with a change to a second activation tone

HARMONIC® Technology is unique in the way it operates and performs, offering a degree of precision and multifunctionality found in no other energy-based surgical device. Electrical energy is converted to mechanical energy. The blade vibrates at 55,500 times a second to simultaneously coagulate and cut tissue. This reduces tissue to a sticky coagulum, sealing vessel walls.

Adaptive Tissue Technology

HARMONIC ACE+ Shears with Adaptive Tissue Technology, a next generation device in our best of class portfolio. HARMONIC ACE+ Shears provide greater precision featuring:

•     Adaptive Tissue Technology responds intelligently to varying tissue conditions
•     23% reduction in thermal spread
•     21% shorter transection times
•     Refined blade design: finer, tapered tip for precision and multifunctionality

HARMONIC ACE+ Shears can be used for coagulation and transection of vessels up to 5mm and handle multiple surgical jobs with precision including dissection, sealing, transection and otomy creation. HARMONIC® Technology's unique combination of precision and multifunctionality allows surgeons to focus on the surgical field, not the device – enabling them to perform their best in over 14 million HARMONIC Procedures worldwide.
